So you went with foam and it's holding up! Looks like you did the Meir method! Kudos to you!

Seems to be, yes. Better be, as we’re going for a ride north tomorrow and it’ll only be around 40 in the morning and we’ll need some heat.
Actually, the Meir method was too daunting for me, although he was generous with his advice. I went in through the heater core. The only scary part was dremeling off that little round bit on the upper left to get the door out. More work taking things apart than it was actually fixing it.

Just did this over the weekend as part of double DIN update. Amazed that 100% of the foam and adhesive was completely gone.

Here’s a video showing how to repair both blend doors using plastic plugs from seller DSP on eBay. It turns out many VWs from the same era have the same problem. When researching that VW problem, I noticed that the blend doors are almost identical, and the plastic plugs work actoss both.
This method goes through the center dash vent behind the radio, similar to other repair methods.

The plugs are overkill. $40+ for something you're not going to see... and $00.25 worth of tape achieves the same end result.
